XMLData opaqueness

Juan Carlos, Ed,

 

I'm glad your testing is unearthing nitty-gritty 
issues like this.  I haven't reviewed the 
whole discussion, but we may already have the means to solve this 
problem.

 

In addition to Document/XMLData, the core has a 
Document/Base64Data which can contain XML.  This is processed by the Server 
as an octet-stream, which means the client must have already applied 
canonicalization (of whatever sort).

 

Given how problematic Document/XMLData is, perhaps 
it should simply be removed in favor of base64'ing everything?
